Dumb race baiters will literally believe anything. "A cracker barrel was the barrel stores kept their whips in to sell to whip slaves" or you know fucking soda crackers. Fucking hell. No one calls whips "crackers" and additionally I'm fairly sure the slur "cracker" is used because both whites and crackers are light colored. They are literally trying to make their slur towards us racist towards them.
I've got a dictionary from the 1980s. It lists "crackerbarrel" as an adjective meaning something with the homespun feel of a country store. For example, an uneducated person with lots of folksy wisdom might be described as a crackerbarrel philosopher.

No, it's because poor whites lived in "cracker boxes" in the South. aka tarpaper shanties.
I thought it was a reference to the Irish phrase craic from when some Irish whites were enslaved?
Hm. I'd always heard it was in reference to the thin-walled shacks they lived in.
